Perfect Holiday Gift Ideas For Your Gay BFF

When shopping for presents, I think long and hard about my BFF's interests, likes, dislikes and little nuances only I'd be able to pick up on. The best kind of gift to purchase is one filled to the brim with meaning and memories from months or years past.

Just last year, I received a collection of Emily Blunt's greatest hits (because she is my everything), some baking soda (because my fridge needs some work) and soap in the shape of a large penis (because, you know).

And though those things may seem off-putting to others, my good friend knew enough about my life to turn average buys into heartfelt items I'll always remember.

Nothing gets better than that feeling. And pro-tip, guys: Never give cash or a gift card. You can't get more impersonal than that, hunty.

I'm sure all my gay brethren out there are pros at both giving and receiving, so this gift guide is tailored to make sure they're satisfied when their straight friends wonder what to get them this holiday season.

So here are all the things that'll make the perfect present for your gay bestie. Just don't mess it up. I promise you, we will return it:

2. A pair of Calvin Klein X Micro Hip Briefs

Sure, lingerie for men does exist, but that doesn't mean I'd ever like to be caught wearing ass-less nylon tights or a man thong.

If you're itching to give that kind of gift, shoot for flattering underwear in a fun print or color. Your bestie will be super grateful, since showing off a little extra thigh to their man will have their underwear coming off faster than they can put it on.

Instead of aiming for something mundane like condoms or a cock ring, go for a gift that's a bit more penetrating.

This "training" kit is a guaranteed good time, equipped with three flexible, silicone anal plugs in small, medium and large, to prepare your friend for any gentleman they encounter with the lights off.

And if you're feeling extra generous, pair it with some quality lube, too!

6. 25-Pound Rogue Rubber Hex Dumbbells

Getting swole isn't easy when you're super lazy. So instead of pushing workout classes down someone's throat, give them the luxury of working out from their couch (or bed or the toilet — whatever works).

A good gay needs to look their absolute best at all times. If you're willing to shell out a little extra cash, pamper your friend with a trip to Bliss Spa. A day of relaxation will have them feeling extra thankful and free of dirty nails and cracked skin.

8. An STD/HIV test

While it's important for EVERYONE to get tested, HIV is extremely prevalent in the gay community. As a loyal friend, encouraging your gay bestie to check their status (at least every three months would be encouraged) is something I recommend.

Going along with your bestie for an STD/HIV test isn't exactly the most cheerful holiday gift, but it's most certainly a thoughtful one.
